What is the most useless fact you know?

 The Most kissed face of all time!

Any idea of who she is?

Chances are that quite a few of us might have kissed her too!

Let’s get back to history.

In the late 1800s, body of a young Parisian woman was found in the Seine river at the Quai Du Luvre in Paris.

Her body didn’t have any marks of violence or external injury and thus is was assumed that she had committed suicide by drowning.

Her body was carried on to a mortuary and the pathologist present there got so smitten by her looks that he ordered a moulder to take a death mask of her face.

No one did ever identify the perfect, blemish-free body. But casts of the beautiful white plaster mask was sold across Paris, then across Europe.

It hung in the studios of artists and writers from Man Ray to Albert Camus, who described the calm, slightly smiling woman as a "drowned Mona Lisa". Some estimated the age of the model to be 16 years given the firmness of the skin.

Generations later, the Girl from the River Seine was rediscovered when Asmund S. Laerdal began the development of a realistic and effective training aid to teach mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

He believed that if such a manikin was life-sized and extremely realistic in appearance, students would be better motivated to learn this lifesaving procedure.

Moved by the story of the girl so tragically taken by early death, he fashioned her mask for the face of his new resuscitation training mannequin,

Resusci Anne.

Resusci Anne was developed by the Norwegian toy maker Asmund laerdel and the Austrian-Czech physician Peter safar and American physician James Elam.

and is produced by the company Laerdal Medical.

So the most kissed face of all time is of L'Inconnue de la Seine (English: The Unknown Woman of the Seine) or what we call CPR Annie.

[4]

I am sure, the next time you see a CPR mannequin, you’d remember the face of the lovely unknown french girl.

CPR lessons from now on would never be the same ! :p

What is the most useless fact you know?

 See this boring little injury here?

It is called finger-bump, writer’s callous or nerd's bump — and for the right reasons.

It isn’t particularly painful or noticeable. In fact, I didn’t discern this on my finger until it began to cause obstruction in holding a pen. On a quick search, it proved to be a writer’s bump.

My days are full of writing by conventional tools, and that pretty much explained it.

When we hold a writing tool like a pen for long, it rubs against the middle finger. The bump, made up of a cluster of dead cells, is essentially a defence mechanism to protect the underlying area of the skin. It prevents any kinds of irritation or infection.

There are various ways we could use to remove it.

One such way is to soak your finger in warm water for a few minutes. Then gently rub a cloth or a pumice stone to exfoliate the dead skin cells. Do never cut off the callus as it could lead to an infection

[1]

.

One can also apply oils or moisturisers to speed up the process.

As prevention, you can use finger protectors or wear gloves to end contact from the tool. Using pencil grips is another method to minimize friction. Taking a break from writing, if feasible, can also cease it.

5. Ants closely resemble human manners: When they wake, they stretch & appear to yawn in a human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.

Edit -5 some people are telling that ants don't sleep but it is not true. I can explain the whole process of ants sleeping.

YES, THEY DO - but not in the sense we understand sleep. Research conducted by James and Cottell into sleep patterns of insects (1983) showed that ants have a cyclical pattern of resting periods which each nest as a group observes, lasting around eight minutes in any 12-hour period. Although this means two such rest periods in any 24-hour period, only one of the rest periods bears any resemblance to what we would call sleep. Mandible and antennae activity is at a much lower level (usually up to 65 per cent lower) than during the other rest period in one 24-hour period, indicating a much deeper "resting" phase. Basing and McCluskey in 1986 used brain activity recorders on black, red, and soldier ants to determine whether the deeper resting period constituted actual "sleep". A steep decline in brain wave fluctuations supported the "sleep" hypothesis in black and red ants, but surprisingly showed a higher level of brain activity in soldier ants in a deep resting phase

6. 60% of all people using the Internet, use it for pornography.

7. The sperm of a mouse is actually longer than the sperm of an whale.

8. The nations whose names begin with "A", but doesn't end with "A" are Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.

9. The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is ‘uncopyrightable’.

10. In the White House, there are 13,092 knives, forks and spoons.
